3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an inbound interstellar comet discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System station at Río Hurtado, Chile, on 1 July 2025 when it was 4.5 AU (670 million km; 420 million mi) from the Sun and moving at a relative speed of 61 km/s (38 mi/s). It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory around the Sun with an orbital eccentricity of 6.11±0.09.[6][a] It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through the Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov.
